The Wanderer | Anglo-Saxon Lament

[@lauriebot3941]

A 4 year gap between uploads, but worth the wait, thanks Carl !

[@MyMomSaysImKeen]

Did you see my Ancient Recitations request on Lotus Eaters podcast? I'm a visually disabled feller who is greatly appreciative to have such a masterful narration. I usually have to suffer through bad Text-to-Speech programs to read, so this upload was a delight. Your reading of Gilgamesh got my mother into ancient history which also helped us bond a bit, and I have a ripped mp3 copy of it on my phone as well. Thanks again, Carl.

[@user-lt2rw5nr9s]

I learned of this channel after my US history teacher played a video and I thought, "That sounds like Carl!" Glad this channel isn't dead, since you have a great reading voice.

[@angiescribbles4986]

Beyond thrilled to see an upload on this channel! 🤩

[@martingreer2714]

Im glad you uploaded to this channel.

[@Obiwancolenobi]

Agreed - it keeps him from posting on his other dumb shit.

[@grelwing47]

Didn't expect to see this channel live ever again. Fantastic!

[@vorynrosethorn903]

Truly the echo of our age.

[@eleveneleven572]

You can see what influenced Tolkien, an Anglo Saxon professor. "Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?"

[@jonfroswa]

So glad to know this channel isn’t abandoned. Your reading of Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came is fantastic, and this instalment definitely merits another few listens. Thanks Carl

[@Longshanks1690]

Assumed this was a Voices of the Past upload for a minute. 😂

[@Folkmjolk]

me too

[@banerkz]

Same started to unsubscribe when I noticed

[@vorynrosethorn903]

Same.

[@ManicRay]

Whoop! The channel is alive!!!

[@ejwarren07]

Thank you Carl, please continue to do more. I'd love to see some more Greek dialogues!

[@Infinite_Entertainment_99]

Oh goodness me, I thought this channel would never return! Thank you!

[@Drew_McTygue]

This is one of my favorite channels, I'm so happy to see new content on this channel

[@thom_wye]

I'm so happy this channel is not dead :) looking forward to more!

[@ethanpeeler3147]

I’ve had some health problems lately, finding a cure seems impossible due conflict of interest with pharmaceutical companies. I’ve listened to this every day as it describes how I often feel and try to keep faith in God that I will see better days. To me this poem is about grief except for the last line which is about hope.

[@anenglishmanplusamerican7107]

As a Saxon, I do feel this lament every day.

[@uncle_Samssubjects]

Our way of life, and Western identity, is under serious siege. As a Italian American it's clear our foundation is under attack, from Plato to Thomas Paine.

[@juhotuho10]

Amazing to see new stuff here too once in a while!

[@Skippinnfliplin]

HOLY SHIIIIT WERE BACK BABAY

[@vorynrosethorn903]

The ending is speaks truth, it is only by renewing our covenant with God that we may wake from our slumber and see evil for what evil is. Until such a time even the ashes will hold no warmth for the Phoenix, to call out the devil by his name is break the grasp of his curse upon us.

[@DontStopCornPop]

I really miss Sargons' old channel. Lotus Eaters is alright, but man do I miss the classic Sargon videos.

[@hohetannen4703]

They need to do some sort of classic Sargon content once in a while. I get they are trying to appeal to a wider crowd professionally.

[@yolanda8563]

It appears Sargon has remedied your plea, thankfully.

[@mandalorian1797]

Hey thanks Sargon for uploading this, it was a pleasant surprise and I'm glad to see you're still doing things like this.

[@yolanda8563]

Can we have a read of "The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon" please? Thank you for these Mr. Benjamin.

[@MrTwistedFrenzy]

I forgot about this channel 😅 good to know you still upload to it and that I still get notified. The reading was beautiful. Sorrowful but hopeful.

[@wingman4564]

We're so back!

[@samshouse2311]

Glad I didn't delete this channel. Thanks for the content

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Excellent reading. Now we know where Tolkien got his famous line - " .. Where is rider ? Where is the horn that was blowing ? .." etc.

[@thirion1850]

Unless you have a solution, don't complain about your woes and steel yourself. Pray and take comfort; God knows and has your shelter. Grim.

[@cathdodd5072]

That is your advice to an exile in the Anglo-Saxon era? I think you're overestimating his options friend! Without a lord (a 'ring giver') to support him - financially and with allies - his life would have been grim indeed.

[@righteousfaust620]

Where can I find the background music?

[@righteousfaust620]

please boss

[@righteousfaust620]

please

[@davidwiessing416]

Love the upload! Please post more here.

[@therikkest310]

Quality audio book read by an Englishman.

[@garfunkelcatandtheparliame72]

Did we have to keep the channel active for the KZbin bux?

[@evolassunglasses4673]

Wonderful.

[@Arkantos117]

Wait, I was still subbed to a Sargoy channel?

[@dantheman13371]

Could you or someone link this specific translation

[@AEsir_Goji]

Fuckin finally, my favorite one is revived.... For now.

[@Miseric0rde]

Wow, I'm still subbed to this? thanks for reminding me, bye!

[@jacobg2134]

Needed this

[@QuiltedGathering]

Thank you.

[@CammandorHam]

The poem sounds very familiar for some reason.

[@alexanderbryant4979]

Tolkien borrowed from it

[@isaaclemmen6500]

Yes! This channel is back!

[@notchbeard9007]

I saw this in my feed and was like NANI!? IMPOSSIBRU!!! I hope this isn't a one off I loved these posts more than the old Sargon stuff.

[@Fredddytoo]

Thanks Carl.

[@elsalaiho1699]

hey, out of curiosity, whose translation is this?

[@johnwright1447]

More old English, please. These sad northern songs have a theme and flavor unseen in other men and tongues

[@MajorGore]

Oh Nice! You finally remembered your youtube password!

[@_Carlos]

The channel may be ancient but I'm glad to see the last uploaded isn't

[@SettlersLament]

Sounds like this one is about me

[@tomwalls2006]

I'm guessing from your voice that you are sargon of akkad

[@fedyno4reviews]

More Bismarck!!!

[@JTPQuinn]

Woot

[@StandishtheGreat]

I knew this subscription would finally payoff 🎉

[@seanrh4294]

Thats you Sargon, isnt it?

[@imold123]

Sargon ??

[@wilcowen]

Please do something from ancient China like the records of the grand historian

[@cftyftyufyfuyfty]

I'M SORRY HWAT

[@j_wamp6161]

Where is Sargon getting all this time to do random vids on KZbin?

[@ch3ch2oh97]

a

[@chrisdoke5214]

Sorry Carl but Nathan C.J. Hood's narration was better.

[@daffidkane8350]

Is this Sargon of Akkad?

[@percivalgrailknight9493]

Sargoy of Cuckard

[@yorozuya2898]

Glad I'm still subbed. Don't forget us sargon.

[@LordJagd]

There’s hundreds of years of beautiful Anglo-Saxon art made by the hands of those people and you use a soulless AI-generated image

[@jonfroswa]

So glad to know this channel isn’t abandoned. Your reading of Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came is fantastic, and this instalment definitely merits another few listens. Thanks Carl
